We all love our pets, and one of the best ways to care for them is by monitoring their health and wellbeing. Our home Dog Allergy Test kit allows you to do exactly that -easily and conveniently.

This test checks your dog for potential allergies by analysing a small blood sample, collected at home using a simple lancet device. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and designed to reduce stress for your pet. The results will help identify whether your dog has food-related or environmental sensitivities.

Thousands of animals each year are taken to the vet to investigate the reasons behind persistent itchiness, digestive problems or behavioural issues, which may be linked to allergies. Often, these issues go undetected and untreated for months or even years, causing you and your dog undue stress and worry.

With the Dog Allergy Test, you can discover possible reasons for your dog’s symptoms, whether they are behavioural or biological, and take steps to avoid potential allergens, so your pet is no longer exposed.

When your test has been completed, you will be provided with a report on the reaction of your pet to up 125 of the most common possible allergens. These could be present in food and other substances that your animal is likely to encounter on a regular basis, or in the outside environment.

We offer three different test panels depending on the number of allergens tested:

61 Allergen IgE II Panel

Once you understand what it is sensitive to, you can make more informed choices – like changing their diet or avoiding certain environments.Your kit includes all you need to collect a small blood sample using the included lancet.
Recommended collection sites: inner ear flap or paw pad (avoid calloused areas). It’s best to take the sample when your it is calm and warm, as blood flow is increased.

1. Use the lancet to obtain a drop of blood.
2. Apply one drop to each of the 5 circles on the blood collection card.
3. Let it air-dry for at least 2 hours.
4. Place it in the protective bag and return using the pre-addressed envelope.
5. We recommend using a tracked mail service.

Results will show the degree the reaction to each allergen, categorised either 0 (no signs of allergy), 1 (low), 2 (moderate) or 3 (high).

The dog being tested should not be eating absolutely anything before the sample is collected, as this could adversely affect the test results. We therefore recommend that the sample be collected in the morning before eating. If this is not possible, we suggest that you wait as long as possible between meals before collecting the sample.

In addition to food, there are also medications, such as antihistamines and steroids, which can affect the dog’s test results. For example, Apoquel, Benadryl, Cytopoint and Prednisone/Prednisolone suppress the immune system and will affect the test results. Therefore, your dog should not take antihistamines, anti-itch and anti-inflammatory drugs or steroid medications for 1-2 weeks before collecting his sample.

Antibiotics such as Clavaseptin do not affect the test results.

While this test can identify sensitivities at any age, a puppy’s physiology changes quickly and the sensitivities they have under 12 months old may completely change as they age. It is recommended that dogs are more than 12 months of age to identify specific allergens that may affect them as they grow older.
